wambu:With a large enough settlement, Kibo-Gue can buy a car and forget about the bus. I predict that he will have some road rage encounters, however.

I cough up my $1.60 each way on the bus every day just to avoid road raging against the drivers in between (and the $6 to park at the office). That, and being the only white guy on the bus reminds me of grade school.

maxximillian:Am I alone in thinking that they both seem like pricks, one is just bad at anger management.

The state circuit court website has 133 records on file for Mr. Kibo-Gue (middle name "Ghangis-Khon") for domestic abuse restraining orders filed by multiple women across the years, driving after revocation, escape from custody, driving after revocation, disorderly conduct. I didn't bother reading all of them but random sample shows he's more than just a prick.

Bus driver's on video being a prick, so that's proven. Circuit court website doesn't have a whole lot on him besides this assault charge.

But are you sure that you didn't get the wrong Kibo-Gue? I mean it could be a simple case of two people with the same name....

FTFA: "In a letter to the MCTS claims investigator, Kibo-Gue said he suffered "physical ailments, public humiliation, psychological trauma and mental anguish" from the attack. He said recently that he was offered $4,000 to settle his complaint but has instead sought to hire a civil rights lawyer. During an interview, he winced several times and took some pills for pain. "I'm in therapy, in counseling," he said. "I haven't ridden the bus since this happened."

I've had my ass beaten to a pulp for zero compensation. If he was a smart douche he should have told them to double the amount and then he would settle.

Considering the spat of black/white relations in Milwaukee, he's got that look of a payday in his eyes.

Kibo-Gue says that he rides the same bus frequently, and that he has shown his reduced-fare card to Igl numerous times, and yet Igl always demanded he dig it out and show it to get the $1.10 fare, even when it slowed the entry of other passengers. Kibo-Gue said he thought it was disrespectful.

The bus driver shouldn't have beat on him, but the guy was pretty much begging for a beating.

Show your pass. You know you're supposed to show it, you know he's going to ask. If you have it out and ready, then it doesn't slow down those other passengers. It's only when you don't have it out and start arguing about it that it slows them down.

TheBlackrose:HellRaisingHoosier: I hate when the victim acts like an douches....

Everyone knows you are supposed to remain behind the white line while the bus is in motion. He stepped over it and got beat down. I see this stuff all the time. Student ghetto kids messing with transit drivers to get their jollies and the drivers taking years of abuse from the little snot nosed punks that are begging for a beating. The problem is that this is the only altercation where charges were laid and any previous videos of their interactions will be harder to find if they are erased on a quarterly basis. However if they stock all video from the buses for a longer period the driver or passenger may be able to improve their case dependent upon what those interactions were like. The bus driver was an ass and the passenger was as well. however they were both acting like children begging the other to do something.

I'm assuming the whitey is my age and resentful of a white colored (sic) worker.He's a hard 56 with a chip on his shoulder and could have said to himself along time ago that customer servie is #1, and this guy is a regular and evoked a friendship that would have earned him a FB friendship and a holiday tip per annum. But, nooooooooo.

I'm assuming the brother is a hard working guy who's always been pushed down by "the man" and has a chip on his shoulder and could have said to himself along time ago that people in the service industry have it hard, and there, but for the grace of God, go I, and could have evoked a friendship that would have earned him a FB friendship and a free ride when he forgot his wallet once in a while.

/you can dress up a turd in a suit and tie, and its still a turd. Defense lawyers do it all the time. Look, jury, yes, my client is a douchebag gang banger, and has killed numerous innocent civilians in his moranic drive by shootings, but fark, doesn't he look pimp in that suit i just got him? He's obviously a victim.
